And just like that, this 3 Years long journey came to an end. FINALLY! now I can live a life of my dreams, away from everyone, ON MY OWN, And specially away so far away from 'him'. That so called chocolate boy, only if anyone knows his real side, the one who only knows to irritate...
But on a dead serious note these three years were everything to me. I made new friends, who saw me for who I am and not for my money. I will forever cherish them and the memories we made.
After constantly dancing on the beats of Dhol in a saree. YES SAREE! Like I said a lot happened in these 3 years, learning to wear a saree because of non-stop events in our college was one of them. If I would have been 15 years old Kaashni I would have laughed at even the thought of wearing a Saree. But what are the odds. My whole new personality was introduced to me as soon as met my girls.... And him, "God why am I thinking so much about him now that I finally don't have to see his very punch-able face anymore" I said in a very pissed and slow voice.
"Tu theek hai na Kaash?" (are you okay kaash?) Innayat asked me in a worried voice
"Yes! Innayat I am okayyyyy and don't please don't call me that" I said trying to sound normal and not at all effected by the thought of him calling me Kaash in his charming voice, and how I am never going to hear that again. And Innayat sensed it. She knows even the tiniest change in my voice.
"If you say so, Kaashni" she replied. This bitch. I swear sometimes I hate my facial expressions. Later on we were called for the group photo.
Then taking one (50 plus) final photo in our gown and cap we all bid goodbyes to each other with hugs, happy tears and bittersweet emotions. He came to us while we all were dancing but I was already pissed enough so I chose to ignore him and already made up my mind that I am not going to see him before leaving. He can enjoy with The Witch.
God why I am this close to burst into tears. AGAIN! I shrugged his thoughts away ones and for all now. As we all started moving towards the exit gate.
"You know that whatever happens I am always a phone call away, right?" I said to my friends holding each other in our arms for a group hug. For one final time.
"Tu toh ab hame seedha 2 saal baad apni shakal dekhaegi na?" (so now you will show your face to us after 2 years?) Pratiksha said with a sad face
"Kaashni are you sure? You will be alright?" Innayat asked in a serious tone.
"HAAN BABA, you guys are asking me this same question for past 3 months now" (YES GUYS) I said in a dramatic way. Since I surprised them with the news of my acceptance for master's in United States.
Meanwhile Meher, was just looking at us in an awe as if she was just capturing these moments in her eyes for forever.
All four of us became friends by the end of our 1st Semester and since then there had not been any day when we had been to college alone. It was either all four of us or none of us. Childish I know but everyone understood this and did not raise any issue.
This one thing I did not like about college, No one gives a damn about whatever you do. I mean we were straight out of school and we were babies... Okay not babies but just early adults.
"Acha bas time dekha hai 7 bajne wale hai. Koi hosh hai bhi ya nahi. Ghar walo ke phone ka wait kreho kya abhi bhi?". Finally! Meher aka the mom of our group decided to speak.
(OK enough, do you guys have any idea about time, its 7pm already. Are you guys in your senses or not. What are you waiting for you parents to call?)
"Come on Meher" the three of us said in unison.
"Last day hai behen! stop being our mom" (sister) Pratiksha said while rolling her eyes. And suddenly my thoughts shifted again.
Last day! Last day! Krash... am I ever going to see you again? Does that not bother you. Is it just me?
"Kaashni tu fir kho gye na, abhi se US ki planning shuru krdi hn?" (Kaashni you're lost again, did you already started planning for US?) Meher asked.
"Nahi mai toh Utkarsh ke baare me" ( No! I was just thinking about Utkarsh) I said absentmindedly and realised what I just said. "I......I mean I am happy that I don't have to deal with his irritating personality anymore, Thank God! Right?"
"If you say so, Kaashni" the three of them said together with a 'you think we are going to buy what you just said' face and I instantly changed the topic.
We all laughed for a while remembering our old funny memories, then promised to stay in touch and give regular life updates and bid our final final goodbye. I called my driver and sat in the car. As soon as we started moving, I heard the clouds thunder, I thanked God that we all proceeded towards our respective places on time. Meher was supposed to leave with Amay so she went inside the college and Innayat and Pratiksha took the cab, they live in the same flat. And as for me and my brother we both were staying at our Late Grand father's house who was maintained and owned by our Dad now.
After moving for good 5 mins suddenly the car stopped as the breaks were pulled urgently, I gasped and banged my forehead on the headrest.
"Jeet bhaiya kya hua?" (what happened jeet) I asked my driver while rubbing my forehead.
"This boy on the bike came in the way out of nowhere didi" (Ma'am) he said.
And then he flashed his bike's headlight straight on my face. AND I EXACTLY UNDERSTOOD WHO IT COULD BE.
"You can't be serious now" I murmured while getting out of from the back seat. Taking slow steps toward that person, my heart beats suddenly increased as soon as I saw a very familiar smirk. I swear my last wish is to slap that smirk away from his handsome face. And now felt like the most perfect time to fulfil that.
He walked towards me and said "Seriously Kaash you were leaving without even saying bye?"
With that he came so close to me and gently hugged me. I was remained stunned at my place. Never in these three damn years He ones talked nicely with me as if his goal was just to irritate me. AND NOW OUT OF NO-DAMN-WHERE HE WAS BEING ALL NICE.
Suddenly water droplets fell on me and I immediately closed my eyes and clenched his shirt in frustration.
Kyu Bhagwanji! I mentally prayed to all the god's so it won't rain at least. But they had other plans.
(Why God)
